Ady shared some profile feature ideas on the Slack: Small feature ideas.Filter contributions on profile pages. If you use the general search box you can filter on the left of the screen for member level and content. If this was available on profiles, members could share their profile set to 'free' for promoting themselves or 'pro' for promoting them and MoT.Contribution counter. As with the above on search it shows how many of each type and an overall total of results. I think if you go with a filter including the count would make sense.
